Stuck? Ask me.
You’re not buying a video library. Every course includes direct support from me, Alan Parker, a certified ISO 27001 Lead Auditor.
- A 30-minute one-to-one video call, whenever you need it most in your 12 months. Most people use it to sanity-check their scope or risk assessment.
- Email support for 12 months. Ask anything about your own implementation and I’ll reply personally within one working day.
I can’t review or write your documents as part of the course, but I’ll always tell you whether you’re on the right track.
HOW IT’S DELIVERED
Learn it. Apply it. Done.
The course is hosted on an online learning platform. Work through it at your own pace — video, written modules, and practical exercises, all structured around the implementation journey.
Video lessons
Over 6 hours of recorded content walking you through every clause, control area, and implementation step — at a pace that works for you.
Written modules & exercises
Context, worked examples, and practical activities so you move from understanding to doing as you go — not after the course is finished.
Call + email support from me
A 30-minute one-to-one video call with me, plus email support for your full 12 months. I reply personally within one working day.
Full document toolkit
All 130+ templates included. All mandatory documents, supporting policies, and audit templates are ready to edit.
12 months access
Revisit any module as your ISMS matures and your audit approaches. Most people complete it in four to six weeks — the rest of the year is yours to refer back.
Works on any device
Desktop, tablet, or mobile — access the course wherever you’re working. Pick up where you left off between sessions.
Content
Content is a mixture of video, text and interactive exercises, all designed to keep you engaged.
SYLLABUS
Two parts. One certification.
The course follows the natural arc of an ISO 27001 project — understand the standard first, then implement it step by step.
PART ONE
Understanding the Standard
01
What ISO 27001 actually requires – and what it doesn’t
02
How an ISMS is structured and why it works that way
03
Clauses 4–10 explained plainly, one by one
04
The mandatory documents — what each one is and what auditors look for
05
The Statement of Applicability — how to approach it without overcomplicating it
PART TWO
Building Your ISMS
01
Gap analysis and building your business case for management
02
Project plan, ISMS scope, and Information Security Policy
03
Risk assessment and treatment — the core of the standard, done properly
04
Annex A controls, procedures, and staff awareness
05
Monitoring, measurement, and internal audit
06
Management review and continual improvement cycle
07
Choosing your certification route and preparing for audit
WHAT YOU’LL HAVE BY THE END
Not theory. A finished ISMS.
Every module is built around something you need to produce. Work through the course, apply each section to your organisation as you go, and arrive at the audit with your documentation already drafted.
1
Defined scope & policy
ISMS scope document, context of the organisation, and your Information Security Policy — ready for review.
2
Completed risk assessment
Risk register, risk appetite statement, and treatment plans — the core of ISO 27001, done properly.
3
Statement of Applicability
All 93 Annex A controls assessed, justified, and documented — the document auditors go straight to.
4
All mandatory policies & procedures
Every document auditors expect to see, adapted for your organisation rather than generic placeholders.
5
Internal audit & management review pack
Ready to run your first internal audit and management review before certification.
6
Staff awareness communications
20 ready-to-send communications covering the awareness topics auditors look for evidence of.
7
Stage 2 pre-audit checklist
A complete checklist of everything your auditor will want to see — so there are no surprises on the day.
8
Confidence you own the outcome
Not just documents — a genuine understanding of the standard so you can maintain and improve your ISMS year on year.
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for the person who’s been handed the project.
Most of the organisations I work with don’t have a dedicated information security team. This course is written for whoever’s making it happen.
You want to do this yourself, but with guidance.
You want to understand the standard, drive the project, and own the outcome — but you want a structured path to follow, not a blank page.
The course includes email consultancy, should you need help.
You have a limited budget.
Not everyone has unlimited funds to pursue things the way they’d like — sometimes we have to adjust accordingly.
This course offers you everything my one-to-one coaching does, but through a structured series of online videos and exercises.
You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves.
You’re not afraid of hard work and have time to explore and learn for yourself.
The full document toolkit is provided and ready for you to tailor to your own needs.
You’re a smaller business.
The course and my whole approach is specifically designed for smaller businesses (<250 staff).
Smaller organisations are simpler, able to move more quickly, and hate overcomplicating things — just like me.
A fraction of the alternatives.

A classroom course teaches you the theory. A consultant does it for you. This course sits between the two — structured guidance from a practising consultant, at a fraction of the cost. And unlike a classroom course, you leave with your documentation actually drafted.

ISO 27001 Feedback
I very much liked the training I got access to. It was nicely laid out and explained, much cleaner and to the point than others I’ve looked at

Well formed but too expensive to share.
What can I say but nice work on developing the 8 hour course. Unfortunately, I am not able to recommend the course to students as it is too expensive even at the 20% reduction. I paid $420 CDN for 8 hours. You realize that Pluralsight is half that and provide access to all their database whether I wish to train cyber or tech, or whatever certification. So, you see, I found this 8 hour course well formed but too expensive to share.

Fantastic content
We attempted ISO 27001 with a compliance tool, but ended up finding it more trouble than it was worth. In my attempt to find a new approach I stumbled across Alan’s free material. It was excellent, and unlike anything else I could find, actually made it sound like we could achieve it on our own.
I quickly purchased the course, and we’re now well on our way through our ISO 27001 journey with a lot more confidence.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to understand ISO 27001, whether they are looking to see what is involved, attempt it on their own, or even if they are using a consultant.
